White out Every photo I take seems to white out, as if it is letting in to much light. But it is more than this, as it is possible to see white streaking on the image as well. I have also tried taking photos in various manual settings, resulting in the same problem. It seems to be a little better in doors. However when I use video mode the image is normal. This problem first occured on holiday in Singapore - when I took it into a shop out there they said it was probably the heat. But the problem still persists in England.

There was a known problem with a batch of early F710s that came out of Japan - I managed to get mine sent back for a free repair... but that was four years ago. Unless it's still under warranty not sure what you can do.

If you have a scratch on the front lens of your camera, this could cause this. Bad light conditions, won't help a camera to autofocus.

But every light that can enter the front lens from a certain angle, can cause flares. Called lens flares. On DSLRs you often see a lens hood that comes with the lens. It is wrong to think you only need them in bright sun light, and put them the wrong way around on your lens. Every light source can cause a flair. So even shooting in the dark, close to a light source a lens hood can help to avoid flares. If you don't have a lens hood, screen the light with your hand.
On Wikipedia, you can read more about lens flares.
I won't tell what brand and what model, but a expensive system camera got white orbs in the picture when shooting in certain (dark) light conditions. So don't think it is only your camera.

There is a function in many printers that lets you print in the single colour of your choice. Check every tab and every "advanced..." dialog box you get when you are about to print. Then go to the printer's properties in the control panel and check whether there's anything like that

Many printers let you print black with black ink, OR alternatively make black by mixing the other three colours CMY. Look for that setting in the same places and deactivate it

The SP-700 does not allow you to take photos in black&white. It will let you convert color photos to black&white, however. See the "Editing Still Photos (REDEYE FIX/BLACK&WHITE/SEPIA" section in the advanced manual (page 78 in my copy).

If you need a manual, you can get one from the manufacturer athttp://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_support_manuals.asp?id=1196

Hi,It is problem of lcd screen that will be replaced to get correct picture view.Local camera repair shop will replace it or if you have expertise then can replace lcd screen by yourself.Let me know if you need part number of lcd screen for DSC-S930 camera.Thanks.

thats very helpfull of them??? they dont have a clue do they?
unless your using a red filter to take photos with its this part playing up
all digital cameras and camcorders have whats called a built in
"white balance meter",,,and yours is not working right,,,
the white balence meter is to let the camera see what colour light its seeing in,,,, the colour temperature of sun light on a bright sunny day is 6600 begrees kelvin,,, in an electric light buld is about its about 3500 degrees kelvin or less? if you took a photo in sunlight the camera sees anything white in the photo "as white" and is happy to print it as white,, but in electric light buld it sees "white" as "red" this is due to the drop in colour temperature, your eyes can also see this (but your brain has its own white balance meter built in) what the white balance meter will do is change what it records or see's to take out the red and make it look white insted,,by changing the clolur temprature of the light its taking the photos in try this out,,,
take a white sheet of paper,, go out side on a sunny day and take a photo of it,,, if its not white and it looks a bit red its the white balence meter playing up in the camera,,,
yes i know,,, you hate me now? its as clear as mub "A"

Did you use flash? Did you use tripod? Generally speaking night photos with non-DSLR digital camera, W55 is non-DSLR, will be blurry unless either flash is used or a tripod is used. The issue is the camera shutter is set for a long exposure in order to get enough light that it is impossible to hold the camera steady. The color problem you mentioned is most likely your white balance. Normal white balance is sunlight at night you white balance should be Auto, Incandescent or Neon
